The only major one that comes to mind is Sidewinder and Roller Soaker at Hershey Park. At the time of my visit I wasn't too big into coasters and focused mainly on Great Bear and Lightning Racer. It was too cold for Roller Soaker and to be honest I didn't even realize Sidewinder was in the park. Also several kiddie coasters because I'm not comfortable enough in my nerdage to whore out unless I have someone equally nuts about coasters to ride with me and have fun . Kind of a tangent on this topic is all the parks I've been to that have built new coasters since my last visit. I could add easily 25 credits if I were to visit them all again.

Interesting...Great potential for a few coasters if Disney decides to go that route.

Very quality interview, I was entertained for the whole hour. I do have to say Robb, you have the perfect way of, for lack of a better term, "dumbing down" coasters for the average person. I've brought many of your terms into conversations with friends to help them understand coasters better.

I am in love with this idea. Although I was keen on the Japan Samuraii rumour I heard. I'm playing through L.A. Noire at the moment. It's an epic game. Ooh I didn't even think about Samauri Either way is good with me, time will tell.

^It is a decent curiosity to discuss in my mind. B&M obviously has never gone this tall before, are they going to use a single chain or two chains? Steel Dragon has a two chains on its lift for a decent comparison. I am pretty interested in how they're going to pull this off.

^Theres actually been a rendering of a giga made already (posted several pages back but I'm too lazy to look for it). The station replaced Cyclone 500, lift behind Apocalypse, twisty section around deja vu and staging area, return run of hills behind Apocalypse to the station.

^Wow I didn't know he was that bad off

^^I think that's the game I saw him playing in Personally I think he's one of the beytter up and comers in net. As for the yotes, losing Bryz in net was a huge hit but picking up Smith from Tampa and LaBarbara's performance last year when he had to step up, I think we'll get alright. The best thing I've noticed that Smith has over Bryz is his puck playing game, every time Bryz got out of net to play the puck I got nervous

Anyone else think it's kind of fitting to start vertical construction with the infamous "worlds longest brake run"?

The layout in the rendering looks like a hillbilly sister-cousin to I305 and too short and too compact for the forces/speeds, I could be wrong though. But the interaction with Ghostrider looks like it could be a very fun thing for sure.

Personally I don't see how a plot can be put to the game. Unless it's literally about somebody building a park but even then it would end up more as a documentary type thing.

I love watching woodie construction! Too bad I won't get a chance to ride this one any time soon

^Is Crosby still out from the hit during the winter classic or did I miss another hit? Do you guys still have Gustavsson in net? I remember watching him play one game as a rookie and his technique and ability blew me away.

Duchene does have a ton of potential in the future, fun to watch too. Unfortunately the Av's seem to be in a rebuilding process after their dream squad left over the past few years (Roy, Sakic, Forsberg, etc)

Just curious on this one, are Friday nights packed now? I remember back in 2000 I went on a Friday night and the longest line was for MF at 10 minutes and it maybe picked up to 20 minutes on Saturday. It was awesome because that was my first chance to ride MF and i got in easily 20 laps that night.

So the Coyotes just released their TV schedule with Fox Sports AZ and I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. 65 of 82 games will be televised, 29 of those will be on the plus channel that isn't on basic cable, plus 4 games on Versus. As a struggling team wanting/needing to get their product out to the locals you'd think they'd air a few more games. I find it odd that almost everybody I talk to in this city enjoys the concept of hockey but the team has no support. Of course this is coming from a converted Wings fan where hockey is the sport of the city. How does everybody else feel about their teams this year?

I've found that 7 inversions is my threshold for marathoning. I rode Hulk 8 times in about an hour to an hour and a half time frame and had to take a pretty decent break afterwards, and this was when I was about 16 and would ride everything all day. Ever since then I've always felt off after rides like Monto, Kumba, Viper SFMM, Etc. But I can lap coasters with 6 inversions all day and feel fine. Still not sure what the difference is with one more inversion

^Is this Dream Theater without Mike Portnoy on drums? If so I need to listen to compare, he helped meld the craziness of Petrucci on guitar and Rudess on keys. I haven't paid much attention to them after hearing Portnoy left for Avenged Sevenfold. Also I didn't know Primus was still writing music.

Win!! hahahaha This made me literally laugh out loud at my desk at work.

These pictures are absolutely fantastic, great job!

Not sure how much you branch into the heavy side of the spectrum but if you like a good female lead you could check out bands like Nightwish (basically another within temptation, Personally I think their original singer was better but still good), Orianthi (she was actually Michael Jackson's guitarist and is a damn fine song writer), then you can get heavier with bands like The Agonist (the heaviest of my suggestions but this girl can keep up with any male screamer out there but also has some bery good cleans), Lacuna Coil, In This Moment (Their first album blew me away), Otep. I love a good female vocalist every now and again.

It is a questionable launch but a launch nonetheless

That slowing is actually gravity and friction doing its thing. They don't send you up and over the top with the LIMs, instead they "launch" you up the hill and the slowing is natural as you crest the top.

How can people not get the joke? Do they not understand what "animitronic" means? I thought it was hilarious and the video was very well put together and hope to see more from you in the future

I wish the Pomeranian would bite off the finger you seem to love to point at everyone and everything that ever happens. Maybe TPR needs a kennel? That's all I'm saying. I'm with Beemer Anyway it shouldn't even be in the thought process for somebody who lives in the area to bring their pet to an amusement park. I can understand if you're travelling across country and want to stop for a day of fun etc, but the park shouldn't have to assume that every guest is going to bring an animal that needs put in the kennel. If you're planning on bringing a pet you need to do the research beforehand, not have the information handed to you as you're walking through the gate.
